Working with a LinkWare Database
The main LinkWare window shows the structure of the database and lets you
view summaries of the records in the database, as shown in Figure 1,
alp04.eps
A The command menus and toolbar, where you select most LinkWare functions.
B The structure of the current database. The icons represent elements in a
cabling installation. You can organize your database by adding project, site,
building, floor, telecommunication room, rack, and patch panel icons, then
moving test records to the appropriate places. You can choose to show the IDs
of these elements at the bottom of your test reports. For jobs where the 606-A
administration standard is used, showing this information helps demonstrate
compliance with that standard.
C The record summary list shows the records in the currently selected level in the
database structure.
D The record data pane shows some details about the selected record. Click the
Detail button to see additional details from individual tests in the record. Click
Properties to edit the record’s administration information.
